Board grants motion to withdraw statement of charges after voluntary surrender by Catherine E. Seamer, RN
Summary
The board granted a department motion to withdraw the statement of charges against Catherine E. Seamer, RN (petition 2023-1241), following the respondent's voluntary surrender of the license; the board accepted the department's procedural request and voted to grant the withdrawal.
The Board of Nursing voted to grant the Department of Public Health's motion to withdraw the statement of charges against Catherine E. Seamer, RN, petition number 2023-1241, after the respondent submitted a voluntary surrender of her license.
Attorney Pazina told the board the respondent signed a voluntary surrender the day before the meeting and that the department accepted the surrender. The department's standard surrender language makes the surrender effective only after the board grants a motion to withdraw the statement of charges; the department presented that motion for the board's approval.
Mary moved to grant the motion and Sal seconded. The board took a roll-call vote with members recorded as aye: Cindy (aye), Sal (aye), Mary (aye), Lisa (aye), Camille (aye), Diane (aye) and Gina Reiner (aye). The chair announced the motion passed.
Because the voluntary surrender was accepted and the statement of charges was withdrawn, no hearing was required on the previously filed charges. The department will process the surrender according to its standard procedures and the board recorded no further action at the meeting.
